As some may have noticed last week bleach's latest chapter wasnt released due to Kubo Sensei's sudden illness. He is reported to be "very sick" so expect the hiatus to remain in effect anywhere for a few weeks to even months, as what specifically ails him is undisclosed at the moment. In the past he has had several mental breakdowns from the stress of being a mangaka(thats the reason he quit writing both Zombie Powder and Bleach at the same time), perhaps it is a relapse or perhaps it is something else entirely. I only hope for his expidited recovery and a swift return of one of everyones favorite series. Be sure to keep him in your thoughts/prayers/wuddever.
